Unfortunately with power meters, unless money is no object there is always some compromise (even SRM's seem to need servicing in Germany every now and again).
There is no good solution to wanting to have one PM between road and track. Its perfectly possible to share one between road bikes, provided the bb's are the same. Or you can use a powertap, but having one wheel for everything has its limitations.
Training with power is a slippery slope and quite addictive. Which is why I am currently in the market for a third fucking power meter ... Currently my nicest/ most expensive bike doesn't have a PM and as a result I never ride it, so my options are sell the whole thing or get a PM for it :-/

@Thuekr good question, i should have mentioned 170 on both
@dan appreciate the input. Yes SRM is expensive, i wouldn't mind paying £2k for it but i would only use it on my main track bike so wouldn't keep track of all the intervals training and miles i do with the other bike on the road + rollers. And buying 2 SRM to put a £2k crankset on a commute / rough training bike sound stupid to me.
Good to know it doesn't work very well with the omnium before i pull the trigger....glad i asked.
I see your point about pedal and i agree with it (i have a torque wrench already). It's only because the system is easy to switch between bike. But in reality, i can't even bother switching from my cleats to flat when i use flat shoes to commute so i would probably never switch those anyway.
Ok back to square 1.......rethinking time.
